			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><p>Over the past few weeks I&#8217;ve been of an ill humour.  My countenance has been riddled with an atrocious scowl.  After much reflection and a bit of intuition, I finally figured out what was wrong.  Like so many of my fellow bloggers, I&#8217;m a very creative person.  I have to put my artistic talents to use or pay the consequences.  In the last few weeks, I&#8221;ve worked so much that I&#8217;ve not had time to write poetry or short stories, take or edit magnificent photos that boggle the senses, or draw the things I love.  It is imperative that I do these things no matter how trivial they seem to others.  I&#8217;d lose my sanity without my crative outlets.  My prose would drive me mad!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a dreamer, a fantacist of sorts.  I dream of a better world in which people actually get that which they deserve.  Good or bad.  About halfway through an incredibly boring workday, I caught myself doodling characters from a short story I started writing but never finished.  I had everyone at work laughing at the drawing of the auld witch and the squirrel innocently encamping in the eve of her house.</p>
<p>So, to keep from going mad for the twenty-three days I have left at my job, I&#8217;m setting aside time to do what I do best.</p>
<p>Speaking of work, I&#8217;ve got to be there in twenty minutes.  Have a grand week all&#8230;<br />
